Teleonix RTUs are often used to monitor the level of chemical within a storage tank on a customer’s site. This information is then made available to the supplier via Teleonix data acquisition software and the Internet and Web. An alarm is typically sent by e-mail or SMS text to a relevant contact at the supplier when the product level falls below a pre-set trigger point. The alert specifically prompts a replacement delivery as required.

Such remote monitoring of tank or silo levels by suppliers will improve their customer service and eliminate the need for the customer themselves to monitor the level and then have to manually place an order. Manual errors made when raising purchase orders are prevented and the supplier can more efficiently manage their delivery schedules to save money on transport costs by ensuring there are no wasted journeys.

There is no need for local IT involvement as the data is communicated via the Internet and all programming is undertaken remotely by our engineers. Installation is simple due to the wireless nature of the Teleonix RTUs and the vast majority of sensor equipment installed on chemical sites is also fully compatible due to the Teleonix RTU's flexibility.

Maintenance is minimal and the overall benefits of improved inventory management far outweigh the cost implication of the simple RTU installation.
